"triumphant."

the past 72 hours or so have been very turbulent. i went to disneyland twice, enjoyed the awesomeness that is claws, and visited starbucks butterfield & pine on its closing day...farewell best workplace thus far. while these are all good moments...the definite highlight is that i passed my exit exam! this was the last huge obstacle on the way to graduating from concorde. i've been stressed all week because of it. the test was scheduled for thursday morning. i spent all wednesday night studying like crazy for it and 1,908 itunes songs later...i arrived at school only to find out that it was postponed to friday morning due to distracting noises from construction work. it turned out to be a blessing as i had more time to put myself at ease and rock it on the exam. passing the ERI affirms my confidence in becoming a nurse and has definitely proven that the past 18 months of school, with all its sacrifices, struggles, and failures, have been worth it. i can now look forward to graduating on july 7 without any more substantial complications. i am truly living a blessed life!
